Vallespir Flea Market

A large flea market in the capital of the Vallespir

The Ceret Vallespir Flea Market is one of the major bargain-hunting events in the Pyrenees-Orientales. With an exceptional duration of 12 hours (from 6am to 6pm), it allows bargain hunters to take their time and exhibitors to offer a wide range of objects. The event brings together both individuals coming to sell their attic finds and antique professionals offering quality pieces, sometimes rare ones. This mix guarantees a varied offering where everyone can find something to their liking, from simple knick-knacks to collectible objects.

A market of a thousand treasures

The stalls of the Vallespir flea market offer a wide variety of merchandise: antique and vintage furniture, decorative objects, porcelain and earthenware dishes, glassware, old household linen (embroidered sheets, tablecloths, lace), old tools and agricultural objects, old books and comics, postcards, old papers, costume and antique jewelry, watches, clocks, collectible toys, vintage clothing, vinyl records and small treasures of yesteryear. Lovers of Catalan art and Roussillon souvenirs will also find pieces specific to local culture.

Entertainment, food and friendliness

Beyond the commercial aspect, the Vallespir flea market is also a moment of friendliness. Toilets are provided for visitor comfort, on-site catering is available, and entertainment punctuates the day. Exhibitors enjoy the warm atmosphere and the significant flow of visitors drawn by Ceret's reputation. Strollers can combine their visit with a discovery of the old town and the famous Ceret Museum of Modern Art.

Ceret, capital of Cubism and the Vallespir

Ceret is a town of around 8,000 inhabitants, sub-prefecture and historic capital of the Vallespir, the Tech valley that extends to the Spanish border. Nicknamed the "Mecca of Cubism" because it welcomed painters like Picasso, Braque, Soutine and Chagall at the beginning of the 20th century, the town now has one of the most beautiful museums of modern art in France. Ceret is also famous for its cherries, the first in France, celebrated each spring during the Cherry Festival. Its old center, century-old plane trees, bullfights and Catalan traditions make it an unmissable tourist destination in the Pyrenees-Orientales.
